OH I'M SORRY I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA

Connecticut lawmakers want to ban drones that are armed with guns and flamethrowers

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Oh, I just had a very amusing idea. This is going to be good. This is going to be very good.

The NY Daily News published a helpful article entitled: Complete guide to fleeing President Donald Trump's America. You can guess who it's primary audience would be. They list several countries that people might want to move to for various reasons. Just one thing:

Unfortunately, you can't just pick up everything you own and move across the globe. You're going to need the right documents.
...
The long process starts with applying for a job in your wannabe home.

Yup. No undocumented aliens, no free stuff and a long immigration process. Isn't that a large factor in Trump's popularity? Do you think they recognize the irony?

I guarantee they don't see the irony.

Well how about this? Teacher fired after student stole nude pictures from her phone. Student unpunished.

Why, exactly, is this teacher being fired?

OH I'M SORRY I THOUGHT THIS WAS 'MURRICCA

FIFY

Maybe because she brought pornographic materials to school and made them accessible to a student?

Not sticking up for the school or saying that the student didn't do wrong.

I personally don't have any nude photos of myself. Especially not on my phone.

By way of theft, though? Not sure if that qualifies as "made them accessible"... or that it should

Porn is available on any and all phones and library computers in any school, regardless of blocks that they think they have in place.

Left porn where student could access it. Possibly on purpose, thinking student would not betray her trust.

Why, exactly, is this teacher being fired?

Because she didnt lock her phone containing naughty pictures on it. Just like she was wearing a short skirt so she was asking to be raped.

Others have equated it to "what if she left a file folder on her desk with printouts of the pictures?" Same diff per them. I disagree. Little snot could have opened the browser and surfed for porn. The fact her racy pics were on the device is not much different since much worse stuff is accessible via the internet on the same device with the same or less effort.

Whats next? Its her fault because she left her car keys on her desk and a group of kids stole them and skipped class to go joyriding? When do we stop blaming victims and start punishing the criminals? /rant

If only that school board knew the teacher wears only a thin layer of cloth over that naked body... boy would they be upset. Doesn't even have a lock on it.

I'm sure if some kid pantsed the teacher, she'd be fired for making that nudity available to the students.

The teacher has forgiven the student, says he's 16 and 'we all do stupid things'. However, that doesn't save her career.

So what if the teacher left a porn magazine in an unlocked drawer? If a student finds it, and passes it around, who should get in trouble? I'd say both. Leaving her phone unlocked on her desk? Kinda stupid. But yeah, the kid that took the phone and shared the photos should also be punished.

I don't think the SC has weighed in, but I would imagine that having all security features enabled is not required for an expectation of privacy.

Is the phone school property? The desk certainly is, so apples and (at minimum) pears.

 

[eldirector]

I keep seeing references to "porn". The pic in question hardly qualifies. Suggestive? Sure. Racy? Maybe. Inappropriate? Depends on circumstances. For all we know, she has on a strapless top under that hand. No different that a large number of prom dresses for high school girls, that are most certainly approved by the school. There are likely worse pictures on the cover of magazines in the teacher's lounge or in the backpacks of female students.

Just thought of another angle: Copyright and illegal distribution. She certainly owns that pic, and the student made illegal copies. More of a civil matter, but the student most certainly violated school policy by copying and distributing copyrighted works without permission.

Knife found buried at OJ Simpson estate, report - Fox 5 NY | WNYW

I'm guessing this was alluded to in his book, "If I Did It"....

'I would have buried a knife behind the grill...'

Oh hey, he buried a knife behind the grill. What a dumbass.
